A Lion and Lamb FREEBIE for You!

Hello friends! I’ve been absent for a few days. No good excuse other than life got BUSY. I’ll spare you the details {at least until my next Five for Friday post ;)}Today is the last day of February!!! Thank goodness. Bring on Spring is what I say.Starting tomorrow, my second graders will be learning about the ever popular saying, “In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb”.

We’re going to learn about it’s meaning using this YouTube video. Did you know that the saying “In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb” is actually rooted in astrology, not weather? I didn’t either. Until I viewed the YouTube video at least.

Then we’re going to brainstorm as a group words to describe “lion weather” and “lamb weather”. I made mini-posters with some commonly used adjectives on them and I will display them in the front of my classroom after our little group think.

After that we’re going to make some predictions. We loooooove making predictions in second grade. I don’t know when that happened, or how I got them to looooooove making predictions, but it did and I did.Then, during the whole month of March, we’ll be tallying our Lion and Lamb days. {My little lambs probably don’t know this yet, but it’s looking like we’re going to get a snowstorm next week. Yes! Next week in MARCH. I’m so mad. But I also kind of like that it goes with this whole Lion and Lamb lesson}.

At the end of the month we’ll graph our results and be thankful that it’s April and spring is officially here and we can go on Spring Break! Yay!If this whole lesson sounds like something you’d like to do, click any of the pictures to grab this FREEBIE from TpT.Tomorrow’s Friday! Have a great weekend!~Halle
